Virat Kohli Dismissed by James Anderson on first ball
Virat Kohli had an ominous start to the five-match Test series against England in Nottingham as he was sent back to the pavilion on golden duck by no other than his old rival James Anderson. The moment took place right after the dismissal of Cheteshwar Pujara, who himself is struggling for form. It was a peach of a delivery by the veteran England pacer as he pitched up the delivery, forcing Kohli to go for a forward push. However, with the Indian skipper playing the ball with an angled bat, the ball took an outside edge and was calmly collected by Jos Buttler.

Meanwhile, this was the first time in twelve Tests, that Anderson managed to pick the wicket of the Indian skipper. The last time he dismissed Kohli in a Test, was back in 2014 at Old Trafford, Manchester. This was Anderson’s 619th Test wicket and with this the English pacer is now on level terms with former India spinner Anil Kumble, who also has the same number of wickets in the traditional format of the game.
